Hello Kenji-san,
I don't have any machines with hotpluggable PCI root bridges, so
I was hoping you could answer a question for me.
It looks like we install handle_hotplug_event_bridge() as a
notify handler on PCI root bridges only when acpiphp is first
loaded.
We later install the same handler on P2P bridges (in
init_bridge_misc()).
But what happens if you hotplug a new PCI root bridge during
runtime?
The way I read the code is:
handle_hotplug_event_bridge
handle_bridge_insertion
add_bridge
add_host_bridge
init_bridge_misc
if (bridge->type != BRIDGE_TYPE_HOST)
acpi_install_notify_handler(handle_hotplug_event_bridge)
So, now what happens if this new root bridge gets a hotplug
event? Seems like it doesn't have a handler and will never get
it?
I read through commit 8e7561cf and I must say that I don't
understand the point of modifying init_bridge_misc() so that it
does not install a handler on a new root bridge.
I must be missing something. Do you know?
Thanks.
